"Reflection" was written and produced by Matthew Wilder and David Zippel for the 1998 Disney animated featureMulan. Several new and established singers auditioned to record the pop version of the song, but Wilder and Zippel felt none of them could hit E-flat 5. Christina Aguilera recorded her audition for the song using an old tape recorder in her bathroom while singing in the shower, and sang E-flat 5 on a cover of Whitney Houston's "Run to You". Wilder and Zippel were impressed by her vocals, and they gave her the job.

I wanted to post a song that placed importance on who we are as individuals. So I hope that you are feeling introspective today and may want to REFLECT on yourself. There may be thoughts that are weighing heavily on your mind and need your undivided attention. Perhaps there are new intentions that you’d like to set. Even if you are busy today, consider making time to be with yourself. Everyone needs time to nurture themselves and cultivate their ideas so they can bring them forth onto the physical plane.

Time spent in personal reflection is time spent reconnecting with ourselves. This practice fosters a deeper understanding within us of what is most meaningful in our lives. It also gives us a chance to work through anything that might be puzzling us. When we spend time with ourselves, away from distractions, we can hear our inner voice speaking to us more clearly. You also spend time engaging one-on-one with one of the most important people in your life—you. Allow yourself time and space alone with your thoughts today, and you will find that you have many answers to the questions in your life.
